Bibi Payra

Times of India

Director Arjunn Dutta’s Bibi Payra is a dark comedy that thrives on tension, revealing just enough to keep viewers hooked till the end. It occupies that intriguing space where absurdity meets unease, letting humour arise not despite the circumstances, but because of them. The narrative unfolds deliberately, shifting across multiple scenarios rather than centring on individuals, inviting the audience to sit with the discomfort of familiar social realities.
At its core is a formidable ensemble that elevates the material. Paoli Dam’s Jhuma – a quiet enigma – and Swastika Mukherjee’s Shiuli – a cheerful woman navigating domestic life – are in commanding form. Their interplay feels both competitive and complementary, pushing each other to hilarious and, at times, extreme limits. This dynamic becomes one of the film’s strongest driving forces. As Jagannath, Shiuli’s husband, Anirban Chakrabarti delivers a character you’ll love to hate. Anindya Sengupta, as a self-assured young investment agent, leans fully into his role, complete with a catchy tagline that lingers. Lokenath Dey stands out in a measured supporting turn as Chakrabarti’s boss.
While the screenplay sustains intrigue for the most part, it slackens in places. Still, the film remains engaging through cleverly constructed situations and the unpredictability of its characters. The editing maintains a steady rhythm, ensuring tonal shifts feel organic, while the cinematography captures fleeting expressions and ambient textures that deepen the storytelling.
Ultimately, Bibi Payra leans into its quirks, using humour as both mask and mirror to reflect the contradictions of urban middle-class life and the secrets it conceals. Flawed yet compelling, it stands out for its performances, tonal confidence, and an undercurrent of emotional unpredictability that keeps the viewer slightly on edge.
